请假条包括病假条、事假条、续假条等。写请假条主要把请假原因和请假时间写清楚，请假的理由要讲充分。同时也要注意内容要简单明了，开门见山说明情况，不必赘述。如果有证明请假原因的证据，如医生证明、电报等最好随条附上。

2. 请病假（代写） Asking for sick leave written by someone else
[Oct. 8, 2004]
Dear [Miss Willams],
Please excuse [Kate]’s absence from school [this morning]. [She] coughed a lot and had a high fever at [9 last night] and could not fall asleep until [midnight]. I felt it would not have been fair to the other children to allow [her] to attend school. So I am writing to ask you for [two] days’ sick leave and will let [her] resume [her] study if [she] feels better [the day after tomorrow].
Yours respectfully,
[威廉斯小姐]：
请原谅[凯特][今早]不能到校上课。[她][昨晚9时]发烧并咳嗽的很厉害，一直到[半夜]才入睡。我觉得叫[她]去学校会影响其他孩子，现代请病假[两]天。如果[后天][她]感觉好些，再让[她]到校。
3. 续假条 Asking for an extension of leave
Prof. [Huang],
I am still lying in bed with the [flu] and unable to get up. I enclose a certificate from the doctor who is attending on me, as [she] fears it will be another [two] days before I shall be able to resume my study. Please give an extension of leave for as many days.
Your student,
[Li Ming]

（黄）老师：
我患[流感]未好，仍卧床不起，医生认为，还要休息[两]天才能到校学习。现附上所开的证明，请准予续假为盼。
4. 教师的回条 Teacher’s reply
Dear [Alice],
Your [mother] tells me you have the [mumps] and must be absent for [half a month]. There are several others in the same condition. Do be careful while you are ill. Don’t think of doing any homework. We’ll have reviews when the sick ones all return. You can watch television or listen to radio progra
